The Boston Globe reported in August 2012:

Secretary of State William F. Galvin announced Wednesday that he will directly supervise the upcoming primary election in the town of East Longmeadow, stripping oversight from the town clerk amid allegations that one of his employees may have participated in a scheme to carry out widespread voter fraud on behalf of a Republican legislative candidate.

The Hampden district attorney’s office is investigating allegations that Republican Enrico John Villamaino III attempted to carry out a scheme that involved changing the party affiliation of hundreds of residents and then ­illegally casting absentee ballots on their behalf in the Sept. 6 primary, according to a previous Globe report.

In October, Villamaino pleaded not guilty over the fraud charges. Last week, he changed his plea to guilty.

With all the buzz about voter ID laws during last year's election, the "liberal media" (ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/MSNBC) beyond the Boston Globe, NY Times, MSNBC, NPR, etc. never even bothered to touch this story or other similar incidents, such as Virginia ReTHUG activist Colin Small, who trashed Democrats' voter registration forms, or Arizona activist Nathan Sproul, accused of altering registration forms to Republican.
